seRN4ARDr's DEATH SCENE.
How the Great French Actress Dies II
rou-Frou-Realistic Acting.

How the Great French Actress Dies In
Realistic Acting.
Bernhardt was dressed in a plain, loose
dress of the sombrest black, it made her hair
by contrast look actually red; it is red as
matter of fact, but not of pronounced shade,
and unless it is thus brought out by sharp
contrast, the fact escapes the recognition of
many a chance observer Moreover, her red
hair is in violent disorder; it strays about
either side of her face somewhat after the
manner of the conventional witch; and
tuft stands almost straight up on the middle
OF her head Her face has the most ashen
pallor, and her open mouth, dropped jaw and
languid movements indicate the extremity of
weakness She is assisted TO sofa and the
scene progresses.
When the death scene proper begins Bern
hardt has the boy George on his knees before
her, her sister ard her husband at her right
and left respectively She stretches her limbs
as one might in fit of lastitude Her arms
are extended wide on either side and her
hands are open, the fingers spread apart. She
withdrsws her hands from this position in
moment to toy with Georges long hair. Her
voice. in its tremulous, husky infections,
growing gradually inarticulate, cannot, of
course, be described She smiles continuously,
but in SO doing rolls the lower lip down, ex-
posing her teeth, as if to indicate that she had
not the strength to bring her jaws together
Still, unless the spectator knew the lines, he
would not expect the end to come as quickly
as it does. "Ah,n heard some one say, IF
the acting is realistic would not physician
know Just where TO expect the last gaspF'
Perhaps so; we shall see.
The actress continues to give directions in
faint voice for her burial, her ewes wander
ing from George to her sister Suddenly she
stops in the middle of sentence, stares
straight ahead, shivers slightly, closes her
fingers convulsively together as they rest on
Georges head, appears to gasp for breath
that she cannot get, and then her head falls
back upon the cushion and rolls to one side,
the eyes staring. the mouth open As the
head falls she makes Slight choking sound

any breath. In the very lobby ! met an

Properties OF Tea.

To the astringent principle or famine.
which forms from thirteen or eighteen
per cent. of the dried leaf, tea owes its
astringent taste. its constlpating effect up
on the bowels, and its property of CON-
municating an ink like color to water con-
tanning salts of iron. The tannin also
principal ingrediant of the Indian, oetel-
nut. which produces a mild and agreeable
form of intoxication.
AS on most other subjects, physicians
disagree on some points in regard to the
effects of tea, but all agree, that as gen.
eral rule. it is very bad for minors whose
growth is not completed. When used
incidentally IN fevers and some forms of
heart disease, it is often of temporary
service, and very strong decoction has
often proved serviceable as an antidote in
some cases of poisoning. and in allaying
the drunkard's craving for liquor. 1t is
impossible to speak too strongly against
the habit occasionally adopted by students
of keeping off their natural sleep by the
frequent use of strong tea. The persist
ent indulgence in such a habit is certain
to lead to the utter destruction of both
bodily and mental vigor.
Apropos of the depressing after effects
of tea, upon a nervous constitution and
temperament, there has recently occurred
a case in point, where patient from Can.
ada. suffering from nervous depression,
called upon noted physician, to consult
with him in regard to his ailments. He
naturally expected formidable prescrip
ton and long course of drugs and medi'
cines. instead of which, he was simply
recommended to abandon tea and after
having done so. in obedience to the advice
given, he soon recovered his former health
and spirits. Halls Journal of Health.

Starving the Teeth.

fact is that You and your fathers have

way it is a blessing to have been born of
poor parents. What food the poor give
their children is OF variety that goes to

Abide with me; the sunsets golden finger
Has drawn q veil between the world and me;
Upon the mountain tops his rays still finger,
But in the valley 1 deep darkness see.
And whelming shadows hover over me.
Abide with me the way is drear and lonely.
And frfghiful phantoms start from every SIDE
Which battle for my soul, that soul which only
Knows Thee on earth. in heaven. Crucihedi
For that dear reason keep Thou near my side.
Abide with me; the avengers, pain and anguish,
Clutch at my life and will not let me go;
And pride and love of ease have made these Ian

These flow ers. love and faith. which bloomed 30
When first knew Thy smile, long, long ago.
Abide with me; earth's Establishments beset me;
They rise like clouds between my soul and Thine,
Hiding Thee, so that soon must forget Thee,
Unless a beam from loving eyes divine
Shall through them cast its radiance to mine.
Abide with me dear Lord, let me not perish
Chase from my heart and way these phautoms dire
Thine "sltar Goals" on my hearts altar cherish,
So that each sin consumed in loves pure fire
May clog more my souls deep, strong desire.
And when at last through earth's dark vale ascend

reach the heavenly hills and at Thy feet
Look, Lord, upon Thee, doubts and fears all blend

In one l1ng gaze Of Joy so deep, so sweet,
Then, salts fled, I need no more repeat
